Elizabeth Avery Meriwether of Memphis — One of Tennessee's earliest crusaders for women's rights, she published her own pro-suffrage newspaper, The Tablet, in 1872. She went to the polls and cast a vote for Horace Greeley in the 1872 presidential election, but "whether or not it was counted," she later reported, "I cannot say." A delegate to the National Woman Suffrage Convention in 1879, she was an eloquent speaker, and traveled the country with Susan B. Anthony and other suffrage leaders advocating votes for women.
